Pro-amendment forces can’t muster a single CEO to speak in documentary

WRAL TV has produced a 21 minute documentary on Amendment One[1] that debuted last night. One of the most remarkable moments in the program occurs when host David Crabtree explores the attitudes of the state’s business community toward the amendment. After highlighting a letter in opposition signed by 75 CEO’s, he reports the following amazing fact:

“We tried to find a CEO who supports Amendment One to interview. We worked with the two lead organizations campaigning for it, the North Carolina Family Policy Council and the NC Values Coalition. They could not find a pro-Amendment CEO willing to be interviewed for this documentary.”

Not even one?! It would seem pretty clear which way the state business community is leaning on this issue.
